video; open to both courts

[thebreakingwave]

[The video feed shows a young man, with messy dark hair and bright eyes standing outside in a garden. Behind him there are weeping willows, a collection of thorny bushes and some fine, purple flowers. It's fairly obvious just which courtyard he's standing in.]

Hullo, I'm Harry. I'm an Auror, from Britain. If your world doesn't have those, it's a sort of wizard that's a cross between an officer of the peace and a soldier.

[There's a tilt to his chin that suggests he is fully aware how young he is and has a voice choice words for anyone that would like to register a complaint about his chosen profession.]

I was thinking that I'd like to get to know everyone a little better and that I'm sure each of us has some unique or interesting thing they can do or teach. Either a language, a craft, or even just a bar trick you can use to get a free pint.

[locked to UNSEELIE]
And for anyone here at Caer Scima, if you're just learning magic or if you'd like someone to spar with that focuses on magical attack and defense, I'd be happy to help.

You mean warlock, right? ( Wizard. Who calls them Wizards? Magnus would spit. )

unseelie lock continues.

[thebreakingwave]

Not really?

[ Harry meant what he said. Lately, he's been making an effort to think before speaking. (It doesn't always work.) ]

It might mean something similar, but we use 'wizard' and 'witch'. 'Warlock' implies a darker sort of magic.

Hm. ( Different worlds, all that. She's still having issues with it. Not like she's not a freak herself, among all these people who aren't covered head to toe in black rune markings on their skin. ) Not where I'm from. Differences aside... My name's Clary. And I draw runes.

Professor of chemistry, to answer your question.

[thebreakingwave]

Thank you! That's brilliant.

Do you think it'll work the same here with all the magic around?

[gordianknots]

I've been experimenting on and off with that exact question for the past two months. It works, but all of the books here prefer alchemy and so that's closer to what I've been doing.

I've...

[ He looks hard-pressed there for a moment, unsure of what or how much to say. ]

I would be glad of instruction. And assistance.

[thebreakingwave]

Unless something suddenly comes up, whenever you've got the time, I should be free.

How much experience do you have?

Re: private video;

[avisionofwar]

I have experience with simple sorts of things, primarily. Making small fires for warmth, to follow tracks and trails, to find water, to protect simple shelters from rain and snow.

Mornings are generally best, at present... where shall I meet you?

[He's quickly learning to just accept things here. Wizard? Why not. Britain? Must be a country he's never heard of and he won't realize he's not asking because his country has never been named.]

So if you're a soldier, I assume that means you've also been trained in basic fighting techniques? [Basic=Muggle, not that the term exists to him.]

unseelie lock continues.

[thebreakingwave]

Outside of magical attack and defence, what I've got is pretty piecemeal.

[ When you've magic at your disposal, it's not considered proper to use physical fighting techniques. Which is precisely why Moody insisted Harry learn a few very dirty tricks for dealing with 'gentlemen'. ]

[nobleminded]

[A lot of Elliot's relatives are fine with dirty tricks. Not that it would make your lack of experience sound any better if he knew that.]

Seriously? I may not know any magic yet, but I doubt it's something you can always rely on. I know how to use a sword, but other people I knew preferred guns. Something like that is good to know if you want to avoid burdening others.

[digophelia]

[ Mostly curious! ]

... Magic? What sort of magic?

[thebreakingwave]

I'm best at attack and defense, but I do well enough with charms, transfiguration, and the like.

[ Let us not speak of divination. ]

[digophelia]

Would that not be mutually exclusive to people like you?

[decathect]

I'm not a witch, exactly... I'm not sure what you'd call me. But I've got magic. Haven't used it very much yet, and I'm not trained... But I'm not sure if our magic is even close to similar.

video.

[thebreakingwave]

We might go about it in different ways or words, but I think that in order for it to work there, there have got to be some similar principles.

[decathect]

There are different kinds. There's light magic, and dark magic. Mine is light magic, because I was the product of true love.

[ did he say he was a wizard did he oh my god ]

Did you say wizard?

[ except it comes out in... something of a rush, sounding more like "didyousaywizard" than anything else. ]

voice.

[thebreakingwave]

Yes? Are you a witch?

[gnostalgia]

[ HAHAhahHAHA she wishes ]

Naw, I'm just a big ol' fan of wizards, thassall.

[vazyol]

[ Dany furrows her brows, evaluating him. He doesn't look particularly threatening, but magic is deceiving. ]

You're trained in the art of magic?

[thebreakingwave]

Yes. I've had a full set of schooling.

[ Mostly full. Minus one year. You know how it goes. ]

[noflying]

How's magic hold up against bullets?

[ jake you could make that sound less. ... terrifying. ]

[thebreakingwave]

Well enough. It's not perfect, but it'll do in a pinch.

[ Harry seems blithely unconcerned about it. ]

Why, did you want to practice shooting at someone?
